    63 dart v8 swap questions

    My 63 came accross the pond with the 318 fitted and no firewall mods, this put the oil pan on the steering center link and caused the drivers side manifold, I believe a 64 273 item , to foul the steering (power) in short the thing was undriveable. I cut out the firewall where the wiper motor...

    show me your early A!

    Thanks for your comment. The pictures of the car were taken just after I sat her back down after fitting a front disc conversion so to be fair the TB's are not set up at this point, it's a little TOO low!!, the rear, I suspect sits low because the rear springs are a little tired, I plan to have...
